The Cloak, the Boat, and the Shoes - Excellence in Choral Music Series

Yeats is a famous poet whose words have many meanings. This poem is weaved into three sections and Milne follows that by constructing his motet into three verses. His melody is as haunting and thoughtful as the poet's lyrics. Furthermore, he keeps the vocal lines free of divisi yet full of suspensions and resolutions that entice the listener. A fine concert piece for high school and college choirs.
